Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Coastal Location & Views: Nestled on a premium cul-de-sac in Monarch Beach, just over a mile from Salt Creek Beach, this property offers desirable city lights and ocean views from multiple decks.
Extensive Recent Renovations: Over $100,000 in recent upgrades including a chef-inspired kitchen, custom staircase, new double-pane windows, new decking/roof, and a recently replaced HVAC system and water heater, ensuring modern comfort and reduced immediate maintenance.
Modern & Energy-Efficient Features: Equipped with brand new double-pane windows, a lease solar panel system, and an EV charging port, enhancing energy efficiency and catering to contemporary lifestyle needs.
End-Unit Privacy & Greenbelt: The sought-after end-unit location on a greenbelt provides enhanced privacy and the feel of a private yard, a significant advantage for a townhome.
Resort-Style Community Amenities: Residents benefit from resort-style community amenities including a sparkling pool, spa, and clubhouse, with the HOA covering water and trash for added convenience.

Cons

Leased Solar System: The solar panel system is leased, which means ongoing monthly payments for the buyer rather than full ownership benefits and potential tax credits.
Townhome Structure & HOA Fees: As a townhome, it involves shared walls and a significant monthly HOA fee of $460, which may be a deterrent for buyers seeking a single-family home or lower recurring costs.
Limited Private Outdoor Space: Despite being an end-unit with a greenbelt, the lot size of 1478 sqft (matching the living area) indicates minimal private yard space beyond the decks, which might not appeal to all buyers.
